    Michael Horton Interviews Robert Schuller (1992)

    Audio and Transcript are both available online. Best line I've read so far:

    Robert Schuller: "Just because it’s in the Bible doesn’t mean you should preach it."

    My favorite line is this:

    CALLER: Dr. Schuller, Paul called the gospel an offense. You seem to have a gospel that is a “kinder, gentler” kind of thing.
    RS: Thank you. I try to make it that way.

    Give yourself to prayer, to reading and meditation on divine truths: strive to penetrate to the bottom of them and never be content with a superficial knowledge.

    Classic interview. I first heard it back in '94 or '95 and was amazed.

    This is the first time I'd seen it. Since the Crystal Cathedral is just down the street, I figured I'd take a look. Simply astounding.

    I am fairly certain the place would implode with me in it if I preached there. It would be a "Samsonesque" performance.

    I thought I had read that Schuller's daughter now had the job.

    How to choose a church. Pathetic. Crystal Cathedral Ministries : Support - Find a Church

    This week's "pastor": Suzette Caldwell Crystal Cathedral Ministries : Hour of Power : Pastors : Suzette Caldwell

    Q.My wife who is blind, watches the Hour of Power, and was wondering if anything is wrong with Robert Schuler, Jr.? She hasn't seen him in a couple of months. Thanks!

    A. Unfortunately Robert Schuller Jnr (RAS) was
    forbidden to preach in the Crystal Cathedral about
    August last year. He could remain as Head pastor
    but not allowed to preach in either the cathedral
    or the H of P. So he ended up resigning. There
    have been and still are a lot of people upset about
    this.

    There might be a copyright problem with the audio. It's hosted on a church site in the UK so I didn't think much about linking to it.

    For now, until I hear differently from White Horse Inn, I'm going to remove the mp3 link.

    Schuller's statements are simply incredible though. Even sadder is that if you search Twitter for Schuller you will see many people quoting him.

    Ah, a classic. I remember hearing that while in college as I was moving from Evangelicalism/Pentecostalism to the Reformed Church.
